i appreciate the villain doing the whole "you're just like me" and raiden going "YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU'RE RIGHT, I THINK IT'S TIME FOR JACK TO LET 'ER RIP"
"... I forgot." I love it. Monsoon's theme is so baddass! I love how Raiden's normal costume changes as he goes through the story. Now he's a lot darker and creepier.
I love how Monsoon is going on about memes, and the first thing that most of the people in this game's demographic would probably think "Wait, is he talking about LOLcats?"
Necrikus They might know what hes talking about but that doesnt change the fact that just the word "meme" is such a stigma that the first thing a lot of people thought when playing this was doge.
"Look at all those S ranks" This is why I love Chip. None of that "watching them fail is half the fun!" horse shit like with other LPers especially on youtube. No, Chip goes hey check out this awesome game and does awesome AT it to show us how awesome it is by doing awesome things while playing it. And that's why Chip is my best friend ever.
Something interesting that Chip didn't mention is that, depending on how you fight Monsoon, his pre-death quote is different. He'll actually scream "STOP! STOP IT!" if you're fighting aggresively enough. I'm guessing the reason that didn't happen here was because Chip was playing more to show the game off than to go all-out.
I thought that was more a response to how well you played? Like how Ocelot responds that you're just as good as the boss if you fought him well in MGS1 but insulted you if you were awful; I thought Monsoon begged for his life if you played awfully?
ChaosArgate It sounds more like a response to how you fight more than how well you fight. An "I expected more from you" sort of response would be more appropriate if you did poorly.
I dunno, I saw it more like he would be more accepting of his death if you gave him a good fight but would completely be adverse to it if you were really no threat to him and you somehow won.
His in-fight dialogue (like all bosses) is based on how well you are doing. For example if you are kicking his ass hard enough he will sound scared and ask: "Is this. . . the real Jack?"
I love how when Monsoon is in magnet mode, throwing shit at Raiden, he says at one point "Left Hand Rule!" It's almost like Platinum was like "This guy really loves magnetism. Let's have him shout anything about magnets, even physics stuff"
I just wanted to say thanks for these Metal Gear LPs. They made me want to go out and get the Legacy Collection and Metal Gear Rising. I also found out I CAN both suck at a game and still enjoy the hell out of it.
In the cyborg future, we will be able to instantly make lolcats by flashing the text over the faces of real life cats in realtime. God bless capitalism
I love that the question monsoon does is like “you should feel bad for you actions those people had to be cut down” then the Mc just goes “whatever it’s fun” and just has fun
Chip, you forgot to mention the dynamic dialogue in the boss fight. Depending on how fast you beat him, Monsoon will either be cocky and confident or begin openly questioning himself and begging for mercy at the finish.
I recently replayed the Monsoon fight after grocking that the 'original grenade do not steal' chaff grenade cut out the 'segments' phase and giggled so much when I realised it.
It's a running gag in the Metal Gear LPs that originated from a line that Chip said in the MGS4 LP, that a major complaint about the game was it's too serious. He said it after knocking the dick off of a statue and crushing a man's balls.
Monsoon's boss fight is pretty much one of the biggest 'Hell Yeah!' moments in the entire game. I am really looking forward to the reaction to the final boss.
3:01 You didn't even hit that lamppost and it still cut itself in half for you! Raiden is so amazing things just cut themselves to pieces when he's in their general area! That's the most anime thing I've ever seen!
Wow Monsoon looks really fun when you know what you're doing, I thought he was a fucking nightmare. I actually found him to be the hardest boss in the game, of course there was a great sense of satisfaction when I did manage to beat him.
Fun Fact about Monsoon is when you play on Normal after the QTE with him he will say "P-Please!" but playing on Hard or higher he says "Do as you please!" like in this video.
Man, this Boss fight seems like the best in the game. Someday I'll buy this game. Not a huge fan of Hack and Slash games but I love the style this game has.
There are several TMNT parallels Leonardo and Sundowner use Twin Swords Donatello and Mistral use a Pole Raphael and Monsoon both use Sai And Michaelangello might be Robot shaped dog buddy for obvious reasons. Originally all the Turtles wore red headbands too. Meanwhile Raiden has blades all over himself, so you are basically playing as Shredder.
BTW, you can't die in the 'drunk stomping' bit. Your health will stay at 0.1% ...I know this because the first time I did it I tried to be sneaky and royally ballsed it up. ._.
I kinda wonder if the reason why Monsoon doesn't have DLC is if the Sam and Blade wolf DLC's were basically a demo on how they may play in MGR 2, and since Monsoon is basically as good as dead, he won't be in the sequel and therefore won't have any need for his own DLC. Still, it would be very awesome if they would, seeing how he fights unlike any boss I've seen. Well, maybe except for Buggy in the One Piece games, just a lot cooler and more sadistic.
I was really disappointed when, on my first playthrough, I took special care to not kill any of the dudes in that segment and didn't get anything special, not even a line of dialogue.
i appreciate the villain doing the whole "you're just like me" and raiden going "YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU'RE RIGHT, I THINK IT'S TIME FOR JACK TO LET 'ER RIP"
Peter Yeh “You like killing!” “Oh shit, your right, I’m gonna do that more!” “Wait shit no”
Wind blows, rain falls, and brother, I meme people.
Monsoon:'I'm just going to take eight steps to the right'
I will admit, the idea of Raiden's kid watching all of this the whole time would be an effective story element for the sequel.
ncala
Will he also mention that he killed a former President and a standing Senator?
@ncala And tear out their spines and eat them for health.
ncala "I killed a President! And a Senator! And also another President who grabbed my crotch and then got shot by a creepy old russian dude!"
"... I forgot."
I love it.
Monsoon's theme is so baddass!
I love how Raiden's normal costume changes as he goes through the story.
Now he's a lot darker and creepier.
I love how Monsoon is going on about memes, and the first thing that most of the people in this game's demographic would probably think "Wait, is he talking about LOLcats?"
I'm sure most of the Metal Gear fans understand what the game is talking about since the concept has been a part of the series for a while.
Necrikus They might know what hes talking about but that doesnt change the fact that just the word "meme" is such a stigma that the first thing a lot of people thought when playing this was doge.
Lord Zachariah So the word meme is now a meme?
I HOPE YOU LIKE GUITAR SHREDDING
22:57
I do! I do like guitar shredding!
I love how giddy you guys get as Monsoon keeps pulling more tricks out. Hilarious and awesome playing.
I like how the one point in the game you get infinite Blade Mode without a wig, the boss is mostly immune to it.
I love how the Jack the Reaper stream is related to this now.
*JACK'S BACK.*
Fighting "Monsoon" in the rain. Very clever.
Ultra Revengance Mode
Play the entire game as Feels Raiden
"Raiden, your brain's fucked up! You're sad or whatever!" kills me every time.
I love that Raiden is basically doing a Crypt Keeper impression while speaking with a guy voiced by the actual Crypt Keeper.
"Look at all those S ranks"
This is why I love Chip. None of that "watching them fail is half the fun!" horse shit like with other LPers especially on youtube. No, Chip goes hey check out this awesome game and does awesome AT it to show us how awesome it is by doing awesome things while playing it.
And that's why Chip is my best friend ever.
Something I wish you'd have shared is that the raindrops in blade mode actually reflect everything accurately in real time.
YOU CAN PARRY THE GARBAGE WHEEL?!
You and me both Chip
I think it's time for Jack....... TO LET ER RIP!
GUITAR RIFF!!!!!
Holy cow, this game just continues to become more and more awesome!
Something interesting that Chip didn't mention is that, depending on how you fight Monsoon, his pre-death quote is different. He'll actually scream "STOP!

You have to love how hyped up everyone gets when they see Monsoon fight and everything. xD I can see why though, Monsoon is one epic son of a bitch.
I just realized the reason they gave you infinite blade mode is probably so that you can really appreciate Monsoon's amazing splitting animations.
I love how when Monsoon is in magnet mode, throwing shit at Raiden, he says at one point "Left Hand Rule!" It's almost like Platinum was like "This guy really loves magnetism. Let's have him shout anything about magnets, even physics stuff"
The voice actor who performs Monsoon is John Kassir, more famously the voice of the Crypt Keeper from Tales of the Crypt. The more you know.
My fucking mind
I just wanted to say thanks for these Metal Gear LPs. They made me want to go out and get the Legacy Collection and Metal Gear Rising. I also found out I CAN both suck at a game and still enjoy the hell out of it.
Anytime I listen to "The Stains of Time", all I can think of is "HERE COME HIS LEGS!!!"
In the cyborg future, we will be able to instantly make lolcats by flashing the text over the faces of real life cats in realtime.
God bless capitalism
I like how Monsoon sounds the exact same as the dad from Rocket Power
Nothing like memes and hatred to go along with surfing and skateboarding.
Ironicus' reaction to seeing Monsoon for the first time was pretty much exactly what mine was
I love that the question monsoon does is like “you should feel bad for you actions those people had to be cut down” then the Mc just goes “whatever it’s fun” and just has fun
"Does it hurt?!"
Yeah, but only a little. About 20% maybe.
I loved this game so much, good to see you guys are having a lot of fun with it as well.
I love how Monsoon is pretty well what'd happen if you locked Magnet man and Ms. Fortune in a closet for a while.
Shitting on DarkSydePhil. I love it.
When exactly does that happen?
When he starts fighting Monsoon.
I must applaud you for not making a Beyblade joke when Raiden says 'let 'er rip'
i like how the execution for the blade wolf clones is the exact same as when you actually fight blade wolf
That bossfight is easily one of the finest moments in videogame history I have ever seen.
That Courtney conversation is wonderful
30:26
WOMBO COMBO
WHERE YOU AT
THAT AIN'T MANTIS
Chip, you forgot to mention the dynamic dialogue in the boss fight. Depending on how fast you beat him, Monsoon will either be cocky and confident or begin openly questioning himself and begging for mercy at the finish.
I recently replayed the Monsoon fight after grocking that the 'original grenade do not steal' chaff grenade cut out the 'segments' phase and giggled so much when I realised it.
this game keeps ratcheting up the awesome and i love it.
It's a running gag in the Metal Gear LPs that originated from a line that Chip said in the MGS4 LP, that a major complaint about the game was it's too serious. He said it after knocking the dick off of a statue and crushing a man's balls.
Monsoon knows how magnets work. He must be a Mormon.
31:35 Monsoon: "You're DEAD!" // Raiden: "DEAD ON!"
Monsoon's boss fight is pretty much one of the biggest 'Hell Yeah!' moments in the entire game. I am really looking forward to the reaction to the final boss.
3:01 You didn't even hit that lamppost and it still cut itself in half for you! Raiden is so amazing things just cut themselves to pieces when he's in their general area! That's the most anime thing I've ever seen!
The Monsoon fight is the hypest shit! SO GOOD.
Jetstream Sam be trollin' yo' advertisement screens.
The Utopia of Death is right across the street from the Garden of Chaos, just turn left at the Dinner of Entropy.
lol he threw a katamari at you
You keep mincing people into hamburgers, Raiden! And this cat wants to know if he can haz them.
I actually found Monsoon to be pretty easy. It's Sundowner I had trouble with.
Wow Monsoon looks really fun when you know what you're doing, I thought he was a fucking nightmare. I actually found him to be the hardest boss in the game, of course there was a great sense of satisfaction when I did manage to beat him.
I love this boss music. If I got into a fight I'd want this playing.
Fun Fact about Monsoon is when you play on Normal after the QTE with him he will say "P-Please!" but playing on Hard or higher he says "Do as you please!" like in this video.
14:10
Raiden's just going "Oh fuck... Oh FUCK." like some guy whose friend just got incredibly fucked up by overdosing.
Jack, Jack, he's a ninja maniac.
Fuck it, I unironically love Raiden now. Jack is back.
Man, this Boss fight seems like the best in the game. Someday I'll buy this game. Not a huge fan of Hack and Slash games but I love the style this game has.
That's what said. I don't like this kind of music in general, but it fits the game, and that's what's important. So I like it.
Omfg I looked it up and Monsoon is Ray Rocket from Rocket Power and the Crypt Keeper wow
Nature has other forces, but only three.
Oh hey I finally get the Alan Moore joke
Monsoon was better known as Spring Man in his Megaman days.
Probably concidence, since Raiden can also shout "Bullseye!" Both of those being his clips when he pulls off a Zandatsu.
Hit the road Jack, and don't you come back no more no more no more no more...
This was the best.
monsoon's legs are like natural parachute pants
I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG
Doktor still said that doesn't kill them! The brain is kept safe or something!
There are several TMNT parallels
Leonardo and Sundowner use Twin Swords
Donatello and Mistral use a Pole
Raphael and Monsoon both use Sai
And Michaelangello might be Robot shaped dog buddy for obvious reasons.
Originally all the Turtles wore red headbands too.
Meanwhile Raiden has blades all over himself, so you are basically playing as Shredder.
oh jesus christ
i looked up monsoon's concept art
that is the silliest fucking thing on the planet
Ahh. Ok. Missed that.
guess who's back
back again
jack's back
tell a friend
RIP Cryptkeeper
if your trying to speedrun this game on the hardest difficulty , if you use monsoon's weapon , you instantly daze him when he's got his magnets on.
Like the Policenauts reference, Ironicus.
Drunk with power, at this point. That Ripper persona is CRAZY! And apparently forgetful. XD
I like that Monsoon has the poofy Metal Gear thighs, even without actually wearing pants. In his case, it's a design decision.
OH GOD WHAT HAVE DONE I FULLY UPGRADED THE FOX BLADE AND ALL THE NORMAL ENEMIES DIE IN ONE HIT AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO FO ZANDATSU
he said on his website that he was too excited
Man, Monsoon's the fucking coolest
Raiden's Spicy Jalapeno burgers also available in child soldier size
He also did Deadpool up to Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, until Nolan North replaced him. I frikkin hate that choice too, cause he was perfect.
Brain Savior 2: Jack's Back. I'd watch it.
BTW, you can't die in the 'drunk stomping' bit. Your health will stay at 0.1%
...I know this because the first time I did it I tried to be sneaky and royally ballsed it up. ._.
I'm pretty sure the weapons unlock from getting the data packet things, the arms get you special items for NG+
I kinda wonder if the reason why Monsoon doesn't have DLC is if the Sam and Blade wolf DLC's were basically a demo on how they may play in MGR 2, and since Monsoon is basically as good as dead, he won't be in the sequel and therefore won't have any need for his own DLC. Still, it would be very awesome if they would, seeing how he fights unlike any boss I've seen. Well, maybe except for Buggy in the One Piece games, just a lot cooler and more sadistic.
Not the Utopia of Death again! The only way out of here is death!
It's the same as any other sword. The Fox Blade's effect doesn't affect bosses.
Hamburgers! Tennis! and Decapitation!
Whoo Raiden becomes Skeletor
I so want Suda 51 to team up with Platinum and make No More Heroes III.
It would be so silly and over the top and with amazing fighting.
I was really disappointed when, on my first playthrough, I took special care to not kill any of the dudes in that segment and didn't get anything special, not even a line of dialogue.
The mooks explode when you chop them to shit, so they die, the geminis didn't die because they didn't explode because Maverick isn't dicks.
14:05 "I'll still kick your ass!" Kinda hard to do without legs, buddy...
And Jet Stream Sam is Casey Jones.
Damn, I like Raiden as the good guy, but he is BITCHING as the villain!
It's chip, he knows
Hey Ironicus, Brain Lord was a really fun game.
